Community reports for 04 6802 1321 (0468021321): Recipient received unsolicited SMS about physio appointment and no-show notices.
Repeated SMS Spam from 04 6802 1321
One contributor has reported receiving unwanted text messages from 04 6802 1321 (also written as 0468021321), sent via Optus mobile. The messages falsely claim the recipient is named Maryanne and has a physio appointment scheduled, with warnings about fees for rescheduling. The contributor received a follow-up message the next day claiming they had failed to attend the appointment, despite the initial message being sent to the wrong person.
This pattern suggests the number 0468021321 may be part of an automated appointment reminder system sending messages to incorrect phone numbers, or deliberately targeting random recipients with false appointment notifications.
What the SMS from 04 6802 1321 Said
According to the report, the first message from 04 6802 1321 stated the recipient (incorrectly identified as Maryanne) had a physio appointment the following day, with a warning that rescheduling would incur fees. The contributor, who does not recognise the name or clinic, received a second text the next day alleging they had not shown up for the appointment.
The use of a specific name and appointment details in the initial SMS suggests either a data breach affecting a physiotherapy practice, or a spoofing service generating fake appointment reminders to harass recipients. The follow-up no-show message indicates the sender is either continuing an automated sequence or deliberately trying to create confusion.
Report Timing and Pattern
The contributor received messages across two consecutive days, with the second message appearing to be an automated no-show notification triggered by the recipient not responding to the first SMS. The rapid follow-up suggests a batch messaging system rather than manual contact. This repeated contact pattern is characteristic of either misconfigured appointment reminder software or deliberate spam designed to provoke responses.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why am I receiving messages from 04 6802 1321 about appointments I didn't make?
According to community reports, 0468021321 is sending unsolicited SMS messages referencing physio appointments to wrong recipients. This suggests either a data breach affecting a clinic's booking system, a misconfigured appointment reminder service, or spam targeting random numbers. Do not engage with the messages or confirm your details.
Is 04 6802 1321 a real physiotherapy clinic?
A contributor reported that 0468021321 sent messages claiming they were Maryanne with a scheduled physio appointment, but the recipient was not a patient and does not recognise the clinic name. The number appears to be used for automated or spam messaging rather than legitimate clinic communications. If you actually have a physio appointment, contact your clinic directly using a number from their official website.
What should I do if 0468021321 keeps texting me about a no-show?
Block 04 6802 1321 immediately and do not respond. The contributor's experience shows the number sends follow-up messages even after the initial SMS goes unread, indicating an automated system. Report the number to your mobile provider and the ACMA at 0429 999 888 to help stop these messages reaching other Australians.
Can I call back 04 6802 1321 to tell them they have the wrong number?
No. Do not call 0468021321. The automated nature of the messages (two separate texts over two days with no response from you) suggests calling back may mark your number as active and result in more messages. Block the number instead and report it as spam to your Optus account.
Should I click the links in SMS from 04 6802 1321?
Do not click any links in messages from 0468021321. Even if the message mentions appointment rescheduling, links in unsolicited SMS may lead to phishing pages designed to steal personal details. Block the number and report it to 0429 999 888 instead.
